I transport myself to an Aboriginal ancient practice, and after this transcendental journey to our “contemporary location” through the use of a "virtual gold," or artificial gold, the one that society can provide to me today--acrylics, oils, gold leaf and gold sprays--which gives the illusion of having easy access to this metal but in actuality mimics access only to its appearance, its light and its reflections. I think in the splendour of a rare collection of pieces bathed in light, operating in space with an identity adapted to an aesthetic of renewal.
